About this episode
Hamilton police have arrested 32 individuals involved in a large theft ring targeting Home Depot stores, recovering over $300K in stolen goods.
Hamilton police just cracked down on a massive organized theft ring targeting Home Depot stores, arresting 32 people and charging them with 235 counts. Over $300K in stolen goods—including a $100K Ram TRX truck—was recovered. The operation, dubbed “Project Checkout,” began after a 25% spike in thefts and uncovered crews stealing high-value tools, flipping them online, and even threatening employees. The four-month investigation led to raids on commercial and residential properties. Authorities warn this crime drives up prices for everyone and is still actively seeking tips to stop more crimes and dismantle illegal marketplaces.
